Join world-renowned meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg for a virtual interactive workshop as part of the Contemplation by Design Summit. This Summit is a campus-wide, multidisciplinary series of free events, hosted by Stanford Medicine from October 23-November 3, 2024. Sharon is offering three different programs as part of this Summit: Compassion and Joy: Practicing the Dharma in Times of Uncertainty, a guided Lovingkindness Meditation event, and an interactive workshop, Seeds of Compassion on November 1st.

In times of uncertainty and change, we can draw on Buddhist teachings to help us move beyond constricting habitual patterns such as fear, denial and despair. Awakening our inner capacities for compassion, wisdom and joy, we learn to transform our worldview from one of isolation and confusion to one of connection and clarity. We can open to a power of faith and courage based on seeing things just as they are.
